Some useful advice

The purpose of EURES is to provide information, advice and recruitment/placement (job-matching) services for the benefit of workers and employers as well as any citizen wishing to benefit from the principle of the free movement of persons.
EURES is much more than the Job Mobility Portal that you are visiting right now. EURES has a human network of more than 700 EURES advisers that are in daily contact with jobseeker and employers across Europe.
In European cross-border regions, EURES has an important role to play in providing information about and helping to solve all sorts of problems related to cross-border commuting that workers and employers may experience.
Set up in 1993, EURES is a co-operation network between the European Commission and the Public Employment Services of the EEA Member States (The EU countries plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) and other partner organisations. Switzerland also takes part in EURES co-operation. The joint resources of the EURES member and partner organisations provide a solid basis for the EURES network to offer high quality services for both workers and employers.

What can EURES do for you?
My EURES provides a number of ways to personalise the services of the EURES Job Mobility Portal according to your personal needs whether you are a jobseeker or an employer.
Job seekers can create and store search profiles and receive e-mail alerts when jobs matching the profile become available. EURES CV On Line, available in all EU languages, gives you the opportunity to post your CV and make it visible to EURES advisers and registered employers.
Employers can, by opening a My EURES account search for CVs of jobseekers, create and store search profiles and receive alerts by e-mail.
Many more features will be added to My EURES, such as the option to subscribe to electronic newsletters.
My EURES is a service that is free of charge to both jobseekers and employers.
